Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. He says: I am a man who gets very angry, and when that happens, I engage in a lot of cursing, swearing, and foul language. What is my ruling? And what should I do in a situation like mine?
Answer:
This is not permissible. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[Fussilat 41:36] If anger overcomes you, seek refuge in Allah, and this devil will depart from you. Two men once quarreled in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) until one of them’s face turned red and his neck veins bulged. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “I know a phrase that, if he were to say it, would remove what he is feeling: I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan.” They informed the man of this, and he said it, and what he was feeling departed from him. So you should seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan, and all of this will depart from you, if Allah wills.

Answer:
This is not permissible. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
And if there comes to you from Satan an evil suggestion, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
